Amigurumi: Woodland Animals

Brand-new crocheters will learn the basics, while crochet veterans will enjoy making whimsical and cuddly bears, deers, raccoons and bluebirds.

Melting hearts and lifting spirits, four adorable forest creatures are simple and stress-free to make when you take Stacey Trock's new Craftsy class, Amigurumi Woodland Animals! Crocheted toys in the Japanese style are all the rage, and Stacey specializes in them, as a pattern designer, author and guiding light behind the FreshStitches blog. In this class, Stacey shares her best tips for choosing yarns and hooks, marking and counting stitches, stuffing, assembling, and finishing with child-safe details. Even a rookie crocheter will enjoy this class, while experienced crocheters will love the four included patterns - a sturdy bear, winsome deer, mischievous raccoon and beautiful bluebird.

Lesson 10. Bonus: Baby-Safe Eyes

"I had long admired amigurumi in books and as samples in my [local yarn store], but although I have knitted toys before, I had never crocheted one. This class is the perfect introduction to amigurumi. Even those who have never crocheted before can learn crochet by taking this class. Stacey explains everything and shows every step clearly." - IntocatsSan Jose, CA USA

This is a great class for beginners especially for learning to work in the round. These little animals are a great alternative to scarves & afghans for those just learning.
